What was reported

Source: manufacturer filing, 49 CFR Part 573
Problem E-One Incorporated (E-One) is recalling certain 2001-2002 E-One X-036 and X-113 emergency vehicles. The flat end caps on the fire pump manifold may fatigue over time and fail, allowing water to suddenly discharge or reducing the water pressure available for fighting fires. Risk Sudden discharge of water poses a risk of injury to firefighting personnel in close proximity, and partial or total loss of discharge pressure could place firefighting personnel or the public at an increased risk of injury. Fix E-One will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the flat end cap with a domed end cap kit. Labor compensation will not be covered by E-One. The recall began on February 19, 2018. Owners may contact E-One customer service at 1-352-861-3612.

Reported to NHTSA Jan 9, 2018 by E-One Incorporated, owners notified Feb 19, 2018.

Which vehicles are covered

Vehicles built Jan 19, 2001 to Mar 11, 2002 — a VIN outside that window is not part of this campaign even if the year, make and model match.

None of the vehicles this campaign names has a page on WhichTrim: every model year it names is older than the catalogue, which begins at 2016. The campaign record above is complete as filed, and whether one specific vehicle is included is settled by its VIN. Other campaigns on vehicles without a page here →

How much of it has been fixed

Reported repaired 14%

of the campaign

The final figure: the six quarters of reporting that 49 cfr 573.7 requires have closed.

This is the manufacturer's own cumulative count of vehicles it has inspected and repaired, divided by the vehicles the campaign covers. It files that count with NHTSA every quarter for six consecutive quarters, starting from the quarter in which owners were told a remedy was ready, and then the obligation ends — so a figure on an older campaign is where the count stopped, not where it stands today.

It rarely reaches 100%, and not because the work was not done. The same report asks manufacturers to count vehicles they could not reach at all — exported, stolen, scrapped, or simply never located — and those stay in the denominator. A low number means a lot of these vehicles are still out there unrepaired; it does not tell you which ones.

Filed documents

Check one specific vehicle

A recall applies to a build range, so year, make and model cannot settle it. NHTSA checks a VIN against the manufacturer's own list and tells you whether the repair is still outstanding on that vehicle.

Common questions

Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR Part 573

Does this recall repair cost anything?

No. Federal law requires the manufacturer to remedy a safety defect or a compliance failure at no charge, for vehicles up to 15 years old measured from the date of first sale. A dealer that asks you to pay for a recall repair is in the wrong.

How do I know whether my vehicle is included?

By VIN, not by model year. This campaign covers vehicles built Jan 19, 2001 to Mar 11, 2002. The manufacturer files a build range with NHTSA and only vehicles inside it are covered, so two identical-looking cars from the same year can differ. NHTSA's own lookup checks a VIN against the manufacturer's list.

What if the repair is not available yet?

It happens, and often. Manufacturers must notify owners when a defect is found even if the parts or the software are not ready, then notify them a second time once the remedy exists. The remedy filed for this campaign is described above.

What did the manufacturer say was wrong?

The problem, risk and fix quoted on this page are the manufacturer's own words as filed with NHTSA under 49 CFR Part 573. WhichTrim does not paraphrase them.

Who started this recall?

NHTSA's record credits the manufacturer. A recall can begin with the manufacturer's own testing, with a defect investigation, or with a compliance test against a Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard.
